Star Theater Public Show - Ancient Skies
About the show: "Ancient Skies"
The stars have been a source of mystery and wonder for people worldwide. Though lacking the tools for traveling into deep space and exploring the electromagnetic spectrum, Ancient cultures attempted to interpret and understand the movements and patterns of objects in the sky from Neolithic times. By studying their observations, some cultures developed calendars; others predicted future events, and still, others worshipped the magical objects in the sky. This show will look at these different interpretations of astronomical cycles and events and particularly explore Mayan predictions.
Duration: 27 minutes
